If you have SAS 9.2 available, it will import files from Stata v10,
and
preserve labels. I thought SAS had bought dbms copy to kill it,
but it

seems that SAS has incorporated parts of it, even though it does not
support the stand-alone dbms copy very well.
SPSS reads and writes both Stata and SAS files, preserving labels.
